Regardless of the mode of delivery, represent a guide to the relative teaching time and student effort required to successfully achieve a particular competency/module. This may include not only scheduled classes or workplace visits but also the amount of effort required to undertake, evaluate and complete all assessment requirements, including any non-classroom activities.
Pre-requisites and Co-requisites
Course Description
This unit covers the skills and knowledge associated with developing textile designs and specifications for production and the testing and analysis associated with developing design specifications. Textile material and products for which product specifications are developed in the textile sector include fibres, fabrics, yarns and finished products.

Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this course you will have developed and applied the skills and knowledge required to demonstrate competency in the above elements.
Details of Learning Activities
This is a studio based course. Sessions will be held in the computer labs and in the design studios in a simulated workplace environment.
You will undertake research into design briefs and then develop collections in response to the brief.
Projects will incorporate Industry briefs and the production of samples and textile products in elective units .
Teaching Schedule
Please note: This schedule may be subject to change as we are working closely with Industry partners and on occasion they may not be available as scheduled.
You will be advised through your RMIT email account as to any changes.

Overview of Assessment
To achieve successful completion of this course students must demonstrate an understanding of all elements of competency.
Assessment tasks have been designed to measure achievement of each competency in a flexible manner.
Assessment will incorporate a variety of methods including:
- Submission and presentation of Project Briefs and Folios
- Technical folders and documentation
- Oral and writtenpresentations
Details of Assessment will be provided with project biref in class sessions
Students will be awarded a grade only if competency has been demonstrated within the standard enrolment period on the first assessment attempt.
Units assessed as ‘not yet competent’ on a first assessment attempt and ‘competent’ on a second or subsequent attempt are to have results amended to competent but are not eligible for grading.
Students are advised that they are likely to be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment work to their teacher.
All work must be submitted by the due date.
Late submissions will not be graded higher than a PASS.
Assessment Tasks
There will 3 Assessments
Each submission will include the following :
Peer Assessment 20%
- Criteria determined by partipants
Assessment Task 2 50%
- Design Folio - Concept Board and Range 3 Designs
